For a rugged wood-shake look, consider Grand Sequoia® IR Shingles. They are a fraction of the cost of traditional slate, wood shakes, or expensive metal roofing and they pass UL 2218 Class 4 Impact Testing. Roofing Annex is a big fan of this shingle due to the regular wind driven 1.5″ hail that tends to hit a roof every 5 years or so. This is one of the most impact resistant shingles available!

Grand Sequoia® Shingles feature artisan-crafted shapes combined with oversized tabs and a dimensional design, resulting in a sophisticated beauty unmatched by typical shingles. Their specially formulated color palette is designed to accentuate the shingle’s natural appeal.

Quick Facts About The UL 2218 Class 4 “Impact” Test

The UL test drops a 2″ steel ball from 20′ onto the top of a shingle to see whether the shingle cracks.

First Image: Results on a standard shingle – it often has ruptures or cracks visible on the surface or back immediately after impact.

Second Image: Results on a special UL Class 4 shingle – impact-resistant shingles show no evidence of tears, cracks, or ruptures on front or back after impact.

Impact Resistant
Pass UL 2218 Class 4, UL’s toughest impact test (shingles show no evidence of cracks or ruptures on front or back of shingle immediately after impact). Compare to “standard” shingles, which may have ruptures or cracks visible on the front or back of the shingle immediately after large hail impact.
